Colonel P P Dickinson, the gen

ed as having stated, yesterday, that
it was a settled TACT that the CO..
lumbus Southern will be built, and
that as soon as Mr.. Jordan is well
enough to attend to business ar
engagements to begin the work will
be completed. This should be
satisfactory to those who have been
losing faith in the enterprise, as
Col. Dickinson is in a position to

Prohibition VS.. Whisky.

Recorder Anderson. of Atlanta,
enc day last week, bound John
Papa over under a $500 bond to
answer for violating the prOhibi.
ton law.
Mr.. Papa was agent for a Griffin
Ga, whiskey firm, AND his bust.
ness was to receive money from his
customers which he sent on to his
house in Griffin and the house
would send him value received in
whiskey, which he turned over to
the customers.
This mode of selling spirituous
liquors in Atlanta has been going
on ever since prohibition went in
to effect, and this is the first time
that the Recorder has found any of
the agents guilty OF violating the
law. 1t seems that a rough and
tur bic fight is being waged be-
tween whiskey men and the prohi-
biti0n element all over the United
States, and when one gets a black
eye to-day in this part of the NOR
al vineyard, the other side receives
q sound thrashing in the next con.
test,
A few days ago, in the Superior
C""~+. ~ c 'umbus, Judge Smith
decided that it was not a criminal
one"ce to II liquor to a drunken
man. If this be law, then some of
the saloon keepers of our town
have a right to enter suit for mons
ey that they have paid the courts
here, in the last few years, for the
same offence.
Now comes the report from Au-
gusta, Maine, where prohibition
has been in effect for long time,
that a whiskey dealer went on to
Europe and returned with a large
invoice of foreign distilled spiritp,
which he is selling to all who wish
to purchase. He is able to de this
from the fact that the United
States protects all persons imports
ing liquors from foreign countries,
from prosecutions under any State
prohibitory law, for selling such
goods in the original unbroken
packages.
The last conflict we have MOTTO
ed was at Raleigh, N. c., where it
was being argued before the courts
that beer and wine were not spirit
uous liquors.
The Judges in the land seem to
be many men of many minds and
when and how rum will be driven
from the land, is a question that
has agitated the minds of the peo-
pie for years, and is likely to do SO
